Always See You Smile

“Okay let’s split up to cover more ground, you go that way and I go this way.” You said to Eli (who transformed into some sort of dinosaur, a velociraptor) and both of you went to opposite directions.

You still couldn’t believe that something like this happened. A giant robot who rampaged at Canterlot High but Pinkie and the girls stopped it. After confronting its maker, Micro Chips, five of you (two missing) are now chasing him throughout the entire campus for causing all of this to happen. But on the search, you quickly realized and forgot something important.

“Oh crap! Pinkie’s cake is still back in the van. I better go back and get it, but...hold on!” You thought but then looked at your watch. After pressing a few buttons on it, your watch starts to glow and instead of creating one, you made ten copies of yourself making a total of eleven of you. “Okay, you go and grab Pinkie’s cake then go to home ec and place it in the fridge. After that continue with finding Micro Chips and when you did make sure he doesn’t escape until me and the others arrive.” You instructed as your copy nodded and sprinted away.

“Uhh one quick question,” One of your copies interrupted. “How come we are holding leek stalks?”

It just came to your head on why you are holding this the entire time. You remember and bought this earlier on your way to CHS as you are passing by a vegetable stand to cook for dinner. You begin to think that you are like that little bird who carries a leek stalk with it.

“Frostbite?” Another copy of you interrupts.

“Not now can’t you see I am thinking where they are hiding Micro Chips. The last place they can bring him is to the nurse’s office, one of us will start there.”

“There is no need, because he is right over there.”

You quickly turned around and see that Twilight Sparkle is sneaking him away at the other end of the hallway.

“I’m so sorry, did me and Micro Chips bother your conversation?” Twilight said. “How about the two of us are just going to slowly walk away and RUUNNN!”

With Twilight and Micro Chips making a run for it, you and your copies began the chase.

****************************************************************************

Meanwhile your other copy that was instructed to grab Pinkie’s cake back at the van had to take the long route through the hole in the building, since Ardee did say he will block the other entrances so no one will escape. You finally arrived at the parking lot and see the entrance all frozen by Ardee’s ice magic. Then you shift your attention back to your van and opened the door to it as you see Pinkie’s gift.

“Better get this this to the chiller.” You thought as you close the door to your van. You are about to head back inside until you heard a loud noise. The sound came from the direction to the main entrance of Canterlot High.

You investigated and as you peek through the corner, you see Ardee is being confronted by Rarity. You continue to observe and Ardee fell to his knees. It wasn’t long Rarity got to her knees also. Something wasn’t right when you continue to hear their conversation and then Ardee’s arm that was frozen was reverted back to its original state and the sword he held vanished as Rarity pulled him for a hug and forgave him.

Something changed in your head, all that anger now replaced with regret that you boys may have overreacted and really misunderstood. Without another word you left Ardee and Rarity as you head back to the parking lot to see that the entrance there is no longer blocked by Ardee’s magic as you entered through the doors.

****************************************************************************

Meanwhile...

“If I were Frostbite, where would I start looking?” Pinkie asked herself as she stood right there in the middle of the hallway. Then it popped to her mind and it wasn’t long... Pinkie bursts through the doors of the cafeteria but you were not there. The she thought of another place on where you can be then after a split second (iow fourthwall breaking) … “AHA! I knew you would be here.” Pinkie opens the door to the home-ec classroom and see you sitting at the station booth were the two of you first met eating an apple.

You slowly made direct eye contact with Pinkie as she approaches you but then quickly slowly turned your eyes away from her.

“You know all of this chasing is not even necessary,” Pinkie said but then notices that you are not wearing your watch easily guessing she is just speaking with one of your copies. “I mean the robot, me and my friends stopping it, and then you boys going all out. All of this is just one big misunderstanding.”

You didn’t say a word as you took a bite to your apple. Then while holding the apple, you point towards a direction where Pinkie follows that you are actually pointing at the refrigerator.

“Is there something in there you want me to see?” Pinkie asked but instead of saying a word you just gave a simple nod as you took another bite to your apple. Pinkie stood from her chair and approach the fridge. She opens it to see a sky-blue colored box wrapped with a pink ribbon. Pinkie sees the tag saying it's for her as she places the box on the station. She then begins to unwrapped the box and Pinkie gasps to see a teddy bear but it’s actually teddy-bear shaped cake. “It’s so cute. Did you really make this thing for me?”

“You can do better than me though. But yes, I made that with the help of Mrs. Cake.” You took your last bite to your apple as you threw the core at the trash bin.

“Aww, I can’t believe you went through all this to surprise me. This is ridiculous, I know you are nice person Frostbite and you will never do something like hurting our friends. You are just barking up the wrong tree on what’s going on and now you are here just sitting and eating an apple regretting about this. I know whenever you are upset you eat, so I easily guess it’s either you are at the cafeteria or here at home-economics.”

“Guess we are more trouble than using ours properly.”

“No you’re not. You guys are just on the wrong page, no let’s say we go out there and correct things before...you know what I mean.”

You then took one deep breath and let it all out and gave Pinkie a smile as you stood from your seat. But with another bold move you pulled Pinkie in for a hug which she got the word and returned it as you whispered ‘thanks for forgiving me’.

“By the way, I was meaning to ask about something.” Pinkie asked after you place her cake back in the box and put it back into the fridge. Before the two of you leave the room... “Why are you holding a leek stalk?”

“Now that you mention about it, I really don’t know?” You said as you took another look at the leek you are holding. “It’s really farfetched on why I am holding something like this." Then Pinkie places her hand on your mouth all of a sudden.

"Don't say its name you will be accused for copyright."

"Copyright for what?"

"Nothing." Pinkie giggled making you quirk an eyebrow.

"Okay? But anyway, let’s go before the other Me's cause any more trouble.”

As you opened the door, you and Pinkie were startled that someone was actually standing outside the door, but it was only Maud.

“Hi Muad. Do you, by the way seen any copies of Frostbite around?”

“I did, just go that way.” Maud pointed towards the direction as you and Pinkie thanked her as the two left.

****************************************************************************

After arriving at an intersection, you and Pinkie turned to your right to see the other ten of you along with Rarity and Ardee. Five of you were tied up not by a rope but by diamonds Rarity created as a rope and the other five are tied up with ice chains Ardee created.

“Rarity, Ardee!” You called out getting both of their attention as you and Pinkie approached them. “Hold on, what happened to them.”

“You see darling, as me and Ardee were looking for the rest of our friends we heard some sort of noise. Then we saw, well you fell from the stairs. It was no doubt that the noise was coming from the second floor. By the time we drag your copy upstairs, we saw nine more of you with Eli’s brother.” Rarity explains.

“There is no doubt that he took on all ten of you.” Ardee then completes the story.

You searched for the you that is wearing the watch. It took a while for you to find the original you. But his condition is not good like the others.

“Oww, ooh. My head is spinning, the entire world is spinning.”

“We thought just because there were ten of us, we outnumbered Eli’s brother. But it looks like he took us all down even without using his powers.”

“Damn it. You are so lucky that you are not hurt.”

You (copy) were somehow lucky that you were instructed to get the cake from the van and have now straightened things out with Pinkie.
